A cmevla is any Lojban word that ends in a consonant.

Examples of (single) cmene that are not (single) cmevla are: "la'o gy Starbucks gy", "la djan smit", "la selpa'i"

It is useful to be able to distinguish the special word form "cmevla" from the more general notion of cmene. These two concepts used to be confused when cmevla were called cmene, since not all cmene have the form of cmevla.

While I know what you meant, you made a basic mistake: named-things are not themselves names. {zoi gy Starbucks gy}, {lu djan smit}, and {zo selpa'i} are cmene that are not single cmevla.
